Brigent Specialty Pharmacy offers medication for hematology and oncology conditions. Our team of specialists works with physicians and other medical professionals to provide the highest quality of medication in the best formulation possible.
What is Hematology?
Hematology is the study of blood and blood disorders. This includes issues with the red blood cells, white blood cells, blood vessels, bone marrow, lymph nodes, platelets, spleen, and the proteins involved in bleeding and clotting (hemostasis and thrombosis).
Hematologists and hematopathologists are highly trained healthcare practitioners who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the blood and blood components. Hematological tests are often done to help diagnose conditions like anemia, infection, hemophilia, and leukemia.
Common blood disorders include:
- Anemia
- Hemophilia
- Blood clots
- Blood cancers
- Leukemia
- Lymphoma
- Myeloma
Patients who are unable to take medications orally may request medication in the form of capsules, oral suspensions, lotions, gels, creams, ointments, and sprays. While traditional commercial medication is limited in dosage forms, our pharmacists are able to customize medication to safely combine ingredients and create medication in the patient’s preferred form. For example, patients experiencing symptoms of itching can have their medication in the form of a topical cream or ointment.
Hospitals and physicians prefer compound medicine to save time in administering medications and to increase its effectiveness and convenience for patients. Compound medicine reduces the number of separate medications patients have to take throughout the day.
What is Oncology?
Oncology is the study and treatment of tumors. Patients diagnosed with cancer especially rely on compounded medications to treat their unique condition. The side-effects of chemotherapy, however, may also require special attention and unique treatment. At Brigent Specialty Pharmacy, we strive to offer excellent service and excellent medicine to our patients and doctors.
